To enable the CA validation option in the private cloud, you must install the same self-signed certificate on the ThinOS device as well.
If you have not installed the self-signed certificate in the ThinOS device then, do not select the Enable CA Validation check box. You
can install the certificate to the device by using Wyse Management Suite after registration, and then enable the CA validation option.
